Hmm, sorry for not responding earlier. Buffering is necessary for implementing the universal_newlines behaviour (I don't know how we could do otherwise?). This has the unavoidable side effect that the Python buffered file object is not in sync with the underlying file descriptor, so that using `p.stdout` in a `select` call will give you inaccurate information. So it seems like this is perhaps a documentation issue. What do you think? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41222> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
